Code definitions are in Techinfo. Link at the top of the page.

At idle, please pull the vacuum line off the top of the BCA (boost control actuator) which is the round black cylindrical thing mounted to the front of the SC. Does the arm move back and forth as you pull and replace this vacuum line? Does it move FULL travel distance?

Pull the bottom line of the cylinder than drive it. How much boost do you get then? If you get more, than the BCS (little box with the electical connector) is bad or the PCM is making it dump your boost because you run non-premium fuel.

If you don't get more boost, your BCA (the cylinder) has a leak or the vac line leading to the top does.

BCM? BCA (cylinder) or BCS (little box)... Each has two vacuum lines. The one on the bottom of the BCA should just be an elbow that goes into the BCA.

And the BCS will have an empty port (that may have a little foam filter on it) in front of the elbow port. Leave it empty.
